Non-holiday matching PJs? My 5 year old has requested matching PJs for her and her soon to be born baby brother. I only can seem to find holiday themed ones. Ideas where to get non-holiday ones?
Congratulations! I hope you love it.
So I officially just accepted a job offer. I’m leaving public accounting for a job with much better hours, slightly more money, and a job title that’s making me realize that I’m taking a step down. I’m excited but also about to throw up. It’s all going to be okay. It’s all going to be ok. *breathes into bag*
*sad face* I want the shoes on the model, but Uniqlo doesn’t seem to sell shoes. I’m sure I could dig through Zappos to find something similar….but that is so much work. Blast.
Can’t tell anyone IRL, but I have my appointment to get Mirena remove to try for #2 scheduled! So excited but nervous! And no mat leave….. Has anyone here had 2 months or less mat leave? With a toddler? Or teleworking?
I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins and cannot focus on anything but babies’ arrival. I’m simultaneously worried about them coming early (with every pain I worry this could be it!) and excited about their arrival. I’m too physically uncomfortable to do anything at all, though I haven’t been told to limit activity beyond listening to my body.
How can I make the time pass faster?! But seriously, how do you survive the last couple weeks or last month when you have no idea how much longer there is, can’t move much, and feel all the feelings?
I’d still go with the Subaru if I were you, simply for extra cargo space. The XC70 isn’t very large in the back once you add in the rear facing car seats, especially if they’re bulkier models.
Looking for car advice. Gearing up to buy a new (or new-to-us) family vehicle. I had been thinking a Subaru Outback or Volvo XC70, but am now thinking we should go with a sedan. Car will mostly be used for husband’s daily commute, so looking for great gas mileage. Needs to be able to fit two rear-facing car seats in the back seat with enough leg room for tall parents in both front seats. We have snow in winter, so something safe and able to handle bad roads. Any wisdom?
Any favorite baby/toddler clothing brands? I just ordered some stuff from the Carter’s sale, but I have to admit I don’t love their quality. I am not looking to spend a ton of money, because my kiddo will be in and out of these clothes pretty quickly, but I would like to know of any nicer brands that people rely on.
I am 27 weeks with a first baby and had to majorly scale back my typical packed weekends due to tiredness. Apparently I scaled back too hard, because I have now had several weekends in a row with literally nothing to do (I know, not a bad problem to have) but I am SO bored. Husband has work this weekend, and there isn’t much to be done to prepare for baby (nursery is on track and it’s still a little early for meal prepping). How would you fill the time? Particularly welcoming things moms wish they had before the baby came. Bonus points if they don’t cost a lot.
